GALERIE des MACHINES
A la rencontre du passé, de nos racines ... Peut-être pour mieux comprendre demain.
Once upon a time there was the PALAIS/GALERIE des MACHINES : 1889 - 1910 ... 2022 !
The Galerie ( or Palais) des Machines was built like the EIFFEL Tower for the Universal Exhibition of 1889.
The Two towering buildings towered together over the Champ de Mars in the heart of PARIS, FRANCE.
The EIFFEL Tower still exists today. The Galerie des Machines is no more !
What happened to this colossal metal structure, more functional, more expensive and taller than the EIFFEL Tower ?
We invite you here on a guided tour into the past and to pay tribute together to all those, workers, craftsmen, artists, engineers and architects who have put their energy into this titanic project.
The Galerie des Machines in SL was born 10 years ago !
It has housed many SL and RL exhibitions.
This year, the idea came to us of paying tribute to this gallery, of bringing it back to live.
You will find:
- on the ground floor : the history of the construction of the gallery.
- 1st basement: Machines and boilers, orientation room, train.
- 2nd basement: the Seine flood of 1910, with direct acces to the Catacombs
- On the 1st floor: Panoramic view - The Universal expo of 1889 in PARIS - The history of the Universal Exhibitions - The romantic parisian kiosk.
- On the 2nd floor: FANTIN LATOUR exhibition - Sarah BERNHARDT exhibition - Child's dream.
- On the 3rd floor: The galerie des Machines after 1889 and until 1910, the year of its demolition.
- On the 4th floor: Steampunk theater and Clockwork Machines workshop - Pub - Périod cinema - "MARY POPPINS animation" which will take you to various monuments of PARIS 1900.
- Skybox: the SOUVENIRS Gallery.
PLEASE NOTE: we advise you to choose your language at the entrance (French or English) to receive information in the language of your choice, throughout your visit.
Click on the lanterns 😉
.... and then, you will certainly see this ghost which haunts the gallery whith its benevolent presence..... Sarah BERNHARDT whispers her impressions and declaims Phèdre....
